[Background and Objectives of the Invention] The present invention relates to a method for producing a crosslinked molded article having excellent flexibility, transparency, and flame retardancy. For example, when using heat-shrinkable tubes to connect internal wiring in equipment or to process terminals, it is better to use heat-shrinkable tubes that have excellent transparency because the condition of the connections can be visually checked.
It is required to be highly flexible for ease of handling, and to be flame retardant in the event of a fire. Therefore, polyvinyl chloride resins, which have excellent transparency and flame retardancy, have been used for applications in this field. In this case, the plasticizer added to give flexibility often oozes out and contaminates the equipment surface, or the plasticizer transfers to the insulated wire that is the adherend of the tube, so no plasticizer is used. A non-plastic type heat shrinkable tube was desired. However, polyethylene, which is a non-plastic type resin, or a copolymer mainly composed of ethylene has poor flame retardancy, and when a flame retardant is added to make it flame retardant, transparency is impaired. Further, although polyvinylidene fluoride resin has excellent flame retardancy and transparency, it is hard and therefore not suitable for use in moving parts. The present invention is based on the above, and aims to provide a crosslinked molded article having excellent flexibility, transparency, and flame retardancy. [Summary of the Invention] The present invention comprises mixing an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and a polyfunctional monomer, and then mixing this mixture with a polyvinylidene fluoride resin to produce an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer of 20 to 80% by weight. % and polyvinylidene fluoride resin 80-20% by weight resin component
The method is characterized in that a resin composition containing 0.5 to 15 parts by weight of a polyfunctional monomer per 100 parts by weight is prepared, the resin composition is molded, and then crosslinked by irradiation with ionizing radiation. In the present invention, the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is blended to impart flexibility to the polyvinylidene fluoride resin without impairing its transparency and flame retardancy. The mixing ratio of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and polyvinylidene fluoride resin must be 20-80/80-20 by weight.
If the amount of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is less than 20% by weight, sufficient flexibility cannot be obtained, and 80
If the content exceeds % by weight, the flame retardancy will decrease. The polyfunctional monomer is added to improve the crosslinking efficiency of the molded product, and must be added in an amount of 0.5 to 15 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the resin component consisting of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and polyvinylidene fluoride resin. There is. If the amount of the polyfunctional monomer added is less than 0.5 parts by weight, a sufficient degree of crosslinking cannot be achieved, and the effect of improving the degree of crosslinking is saturated at about 15 parts by weight. Examples of polyfunctional monomers include acrylates (diethylene glycol diacrylate, etc.), dimethacrylates (diethylene glycol dimethacrylate, dipropylene glycol dimethacrylate, etc.), triacrylates (trimethylolethane triacrylate, trimethylolbutane triacrylate, etc.) ), trimethacrylates (trimethylolethane trimethacrylate, trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate, etc.), triallylcyanurate, triallylisocyanurate, diallylmalate, and the like. Note that polyfunctional monomers are difficult to disperse uniformly in polyvinylidene fluoride resin, so the polyfunctional monomers are kneaded into ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and mixed uniformly, and this mixture is mixed with polyvinylidene fluoride resin. It is necessary to mix uniformly with a mixer such as a tumbler. A resin composition containing an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, a polyvinylidene fluoride resin, and a polyfunctional monomer is molded into a predetermined shape using an extruder, and then crosslinked by irradiation with ionizing radiation such as an electron beam. Although the present invention is applicable to the production of various crosslinked molded bodies, it is particularly suitable for the production of heat-shrinkable tubes. Heat-shrinkable tubes are manufactured by expanding the tube at a temperature above the softening point or melting point and then cooling it, but the tube cannot be expanded at temperatures above the softening point or melting point because the resin melts. . For this reason, crosslinking is performed to prevent the tube from melting. Crosslinking methods include chemical crosslinking, ionizing radiation crosslinking, etc., but chemical crosslinking is impossible because there is no organic peroxide that can withstand the molding temperature of polyvinylidene fluoride resin. Therefore, in the present invention, crosslinking by irradiation with ionizing radiation is employed. [Examples of the Invention] Resin compositions containing various components as shown in Table 1 were prepared. In this case, the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and the polyfunctional monomer (trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate, triallyl isocyanurate) were uniformly mixed, and then mixed with the polyvinylidene fluoride resin. The above resin composition is formed into a sheet by pressing,
It was crosslinked by electron beam accelerator irradiation. The evaluation results for the sheets of each example are as shown in the lower column of Table 1. The evaluation was based on the following. Combustion test: A 2 mm thick sheet was irradiated with 5 Mrad using a 1.5 MeV electron beam accelerator, and then evaluated based on ASTMD635. Transparency: Visually determined after irradiating a 0.5 mm thick sheet with 5 Mrad using a 1.5 MeV electron beam accelerator. Flexibility (scanto modulus): A 0.5 mm thick sheet was irradiated with 5 Mrad using a 1.5 MeV electron beam accelerator and then tested in accordance with UL224. Judgment is UL224
Compliant with the criteria for flexible type.
